Its funny though. Because primary russian sources for R77 are outright lies in its range as they failed to achieve declared performance while used in combat by indian AF.
Indian airforce doesn’t have R-77 and that’s not true
they should just convert that plane to the SM3 and get rid of the nonsense double racks, they already gave it the better engine

Yep, not an R-77 at all… They are literally going to buy derby to replace R-77s as they failed horribly.

This was allegedly sent to devs again according to smin to see, if they can fix it… I hate the wording can… It has to be fixed no matter what. Even if they would have to rewrite whole code of how radars scan.
Is there any news about the HMD hud issue in SIM?
Another thing, is the gunsight in cockpit view working as intended? There’s no lead reticle when radar locking a target.
Friggin’ legendary writeup. Bump!
Option for radar zone to span the whole radar screen would be a massive QoL improvement. I was wondering this the other day why all the targets had to be compressed into such a small cluster.
And after this, Indian continued to purchase R-77.
IAF Developer astra to replace R-77.
I just noticed that on HUD AIM-120’s designated as SRAAM missiles while on Dev Server they were designated as MRAAM.
@Gunjob do you have any information about this? It seems like something is wrong.

Well the Rafale has 8 MICAs now…
EFT still has the edge in terms of survivability and flight model, all we need are improvements for radar and PIRATE IRST for German model if we can get.

German Eurofighters never had IRST (IPA7 doesn’t count)
Do not compare it to HMD on the Rafale is not the same
IRST installation requires chang3s to the aircraft
It was tested on German EFT’s just like HMD and 8 MICA’s, so this is rather lame excuse.

It was on IPA7 which is a test bed aircraft owned by the Consortium with physical changes
HMD is just a helmet it is plug and play

If anyone else has any videos or images of ghost targets please stick them in the comments. Also include a game log file if possible.
8 MICA’s are also tested with test aircraft, French air force itself didnt do that as well.
As i’ve said this is lame excuse to not give PIRATE IRST to German EFT.

yeah I know its just a shame that the missiles don’t really match the planes strengths, MICAs and the Rafale’s airframe are an epic combo at close range.
Well thats why France left the EFT program and created their own planes for almost any situation.
If MICA gets its historical performance it will be even more dangerous in any situation.
Pylons vs a whole IRST system that requires changes to the airframe
Hmmm
